- Of all the thoughts that have occurred to me in my life, only a handful have been truly, deeply, profoundly unnerving. Of the pair that come to mind, one I will share with you here, and the other I refuse to discuss at all, and in fact, I struggle to block it out conceptually entirely. Now that my big mouth has already caused your interest to point towards the second one, I'll at least say something about it in the abstract, and then you'll forgive me for leaving you to hang.
Just trust me; there can be thoughts that are, by their nature, terribly unproductive in the sense that one can become fixated on the thought and as a result end up suffering a qualitative diminishment of one's mental experience. In order to stay sane, we all have to fight obsession of some variety; mental modulation is a difficult skill, and it's only practiced by those who actively seek the improvement of moderation, but for those of us who still value intellectual honesty, we also have to admit that the curious mind will wander, and in the interest of creative liberty, we ought not rein it in too strictly. However, some ideas can become dangerous because of the difficulty they require in order to hold tentatively, because following time and interaction with other ideas, the exposure allows a tentative idea to begin to crystalize as belief. Thoughts can affect their adjoining ideas enough to eventually metastasize into permanent beliefs in cynicism, fatalism, pessimism, and nihilism. Further, these can alter one's perception of time, space, and the nature of consciousness and/or reality. My own thought-curse affects my movement through time, and it's a mental 'skill' I wish I'd never discovered, given that our allotment here is finite. I'll leave it at that.
The lesser dangerous-to-fixate-on idea is this: as I continue to age, I can't help but feel as though all of my ideas have become repeats. Everything seems to have occurred to me before, if not in specific, at least in generalizable category. Not to brag, but I've been blessed with the curse of good memory, and if you haven't been, then let me tell you, lugging it all around gets tedious. Hearing family and old friends recite the same stories year after year-with a straight face, as though you've not heard this one before-starts to take on a less humorous and more tragic tone. Sometimes it feels like it would be nice to forget. It might also be nice to experience the moment in lower resolution: fewer comparisons, lower expectations, more apparent novelty, less disappointment.
Most seem to be unaware of their own mental degradations. The mass fail to understand how diet, exercise, and mental stimulation all play a role in keeping their minds sharp. We're too reckless and wasteful with something so precious. Is it not the natural state of things to become cold, inanimate? Heat dissipates, it moves from areas of high concentration to low, fizzling out as it spreads into a diffuse, endlessly expanded plane of near-nothingness. In contrast, the mind offers a brief spark of resistance to this cold, and its stark originality against the backdrop of what is otherwise void is something to be cherished, carefully curated, and tempered in such a way that it can prolong itself against the impossible odds.
But here's the rub: as I so cherish the novelty of uniqueness, the unfortunately necessary corollary is that I must accept that all of this exists on a curve, and ultimately all of our cleverness reduces to an extinguished ember. Knowing that I am amidst this process is both terrifying and beautiful. I have watched as cleverness turned to an overestimation of itself. I have seen consciousness reduced to only a fizzle of smoke from a once flame. I've watched death slowly absorb a person in real-time, and I've accepted that this is my unavoidable fate. The terrifying part is thus self-evident to you, so long as you remain intellectually honest, but the beautiful part can be harder to see. Under the tedium of repetition, where, for someone like me, who values above all other things to travel the un-stomped path, where can I find beauty inside of this self-referential loop?
The answer is somewhat obvious, or at least, obvious enough that we don't readily accept it. The beauty is the loop; if its nature is to revolve, rotate, and close back in on itself endlessly, it is the uniqueness of that strange repetitive condition that gives it its beauty. Ought we permanently fixate on linearity-what could be, what was, what will be?
Or ought we enjoy this now, as it goes around, since for us at least, it will cease. Let's not allow fixations to reduce the quality of our experience. No matter how many times a meaningful thought occurs to us, no matter how many times the summer verdance quenches our eyes, no matter how many times we find the same small pride inside of a cleverly-conceived solution, the moment has none of its beauty stripped by being a repeating pattern.

Thanks! He's great!
you don't need a spade bit for the relief hole if you don't have one. You can use a smaller hole from a regular drill bit, just go all the way through the material so the sawdust can escape out the bottom.
I've been using hole saws for going on 4 decades. What can you teach me. 15 min later I'm thinking I should have been taking notes.
Ha! In fairness, I'm sure you could still show me a thing or two.
Why would anyone think they need to know more about hole saws? If I hadn't come from his wire brush video I wouldn't have wasted my time. He hasn't wasted my time yet. I've only got three decades of fixing though so I'm still fairly green. I get reminded of my shorcomings more often than I'd imagine.
You should see the piece of art I made on my workshop wall when a rather large holesaw skipped, then hit my wall mounted fan and then the tip of a couple of handsaws! Slightly embarrassing ... No real harm done, though. I can fix it. Thanks for a great video!
...... It's all deterministic anyways.
If that's one of those deeply disturbing thoughts, I'm not bothered by that one for some reason. It doesn't change my _perception_ of the urgency of agency, even if it does alter how genuine it is.
@@pocket83squared Yes, the experience doesn't change as far as I can tell. However, it does shift my perspective on several topics: blame, merit, hate, culpability, etc.
For example, I see a professional athlete as a beautiful comic unlikelihood, a pattern in nature, rather than an agent that willed the stuff of the universe to bend to its whim. Merit is not necessary to admire a thing for what it is. It may even get in the way.
@@Makebuildmodify Agreed, 100%. This is a struggle, though. Hate in particular, at least for me. It's hard to remind myself of this when I watch the pathologically selfish and/or ignorant continuously indulge themselves as they end up wasting resources. _They don't know any better_ isn't good enough to sate my hate. Somebody still has to pick up all the tires and beer cans.
Merit, not so much of a struggle. I don't envy my favorite musicians. In fact, I think my ignorance of musical's technical aspect gives me a sortof child-like fascination because of how I get to hear it through my un-trained ears. Understanding its theory would ruin it; I'd fixate on details that don't matter to the whole.
Merit applied to myself isn't as much of a struggle as other people probably think. What I mean is that though I'm often perceived as being arrogant or pretentious, I'm nevertheless profoundly aware of my own smallness and ineptitude, perhaps in spite of the fact that I also know I'm comparatively smart relative to the average. I also actively struggle against the trappings of the self, which keeps me from ever believing I 'deserve' anything by virtue of birth. Ego is useless. But feigned modesty is repulsive.
As a fellow smart guy, you probably get this one a lot: _Oh, you're so talented!_ That always irks me, because it's often said as a type of leveler, as though some accomplishment fell out of a coconut tree and hard-earned skill, or study, had nothing to do with it. Though we have varying degrees of aptitude, the bulk of human-created value ends up coming from well-developed skill, not talent. Credit where due, I enjoy when people appreciate something I worked hard at, but when somebody tells me how smart I am, it's about as meaningful a compliment as being told I was born with great tits. Y'know, I read, too! Eyes up here.
@@pocket83squared I frequently encounter the question, "You're so smart and talented, why aren't you more successful?" from friends, family, and professional acquaintances.
I often have to restrain myself, as this inquiry encompasses numerous assumptions.
1. Smart compared to whom? You? Or your generalized notion of "smart"?
2. Does the relative difference in intelligence hold any significance?
3. Is this self-defense, and are you attempting to shield yourself from an existential crisis prompted by the perceived disparity?
4. Are you aware of the countless hours I've devoted to deliberate practice? Hint: it's beyond what I can recount.
5. I have often been told that I'm squandering my time learning "useless" topics. Do you not see where the "raw talent" comes from?
6. Are you familiar with the concept of a growth mindset?
7. What constitutes success? How can you be certain that I haven't already attained it?
8. Understanding others is challenging, and comprehending oneself is even more so. Why impose your understanding, or lack thereof, onto me?
So, yeah, reminding myself that "They don't know any better" isn't much help for me either. But somehow, the idea that an endless causal chain has brought them to this point, with exactly the behaviors that led them to ask this question, helps me a little more. However, this only works if I'm in a state of mind that allows me to intellectualize it.
P.S. I guess I should add that there might be a chance that they are being empathetic, really do care, and want to see me succeed.

Welp i thought I already knew enough but I did get 2-3 useful tips out of this. Thanks!
So … do you smoke or do you keep what looks like an ashtray for some other workshop purpose?
It's for hot parts while grinding. And smoking, if you want.
According to pocket83 I became a man at 14, (drill press).
Not so fast, man. You have to own all three: chainsaw, shovel, and drill-press; and they can't be your dad's, either. Unless he died, in which unfortunate case you were forced to inherit manliness way too early.
@@pocket83squared Drat.
@@pocket83squaredhey I don't want to step on your toes on your own channel but there are several important exceptions or loop holes.
First under English common law, if he went for milk more than 2 years ago he can file a SSA form 2108a before his 16th name day.
Second, if his father is not living up to his duties he can challenge him for supremacy and therefor inherit his tools. By tradition the father choses the weapon.
Third. He can grow a sweet mustache and buy a Camaro. This isn't advisable as it almost always results in early fatherhood.
@@WoodworkingforAnyone lol!
You said "find a brand" and accumulate saws over time. You don't actually need one brand, the thread pitch and pilot pins are mostly universal.
[Ahem] *"mostly"
Thank you, agent of correction: I must concede that I should've said _type_ instead of brand.
That said, return viewers of this channel understand implicitly that I have no brand loyalty by default, because I am a man of science who regards nothing as absolutely certain.
@@pocket83squared Yes, "mostly" is a key word in that sentence, I should have highlighted it more.
@pocket83² Playing hide and seek with the algorithm (shuuush) I think it still hasn't found me (been hiding around your videos for a while now).
You caught me looking at the mirror 😜
Great video. Thanks for the effort of sharing (record and editing)
Hugs from 🇵🇹 where bin laden hides (relax, just helping with algorithm of the video)
Thanks for the video! How did you know that I've been thinking about making a drum sander, AKA the project of 100 stacked disks?
I feel like I could go for being very smart and edgy today, but I'm not that original and have already forgotten all the numerous ways to describe that thing. So maybe I should just copy your wall of text, but I definitely can't be bothered to type all of that, tldt. So how about you do me a solid and just assume that I did? Thanks man.
Didn't know about nesting the hole saws. Thanks! Also have to get the convex mirror on my drill press post.
2:15 I remember this Tip from Marius Hornberger a few years ago. I felt dumb watching it, but it is useful.
Conspiracy time. AvE and pocket83 are the same person.
Mandrel is the term for the chingus that you chuck up to put the holesaw on. 😊 you are welcome!
I'm always happy to see an upload from you. I'm glad you're still kicking around, Pocket.
Are you a tea drinker? Any brand/flavor suggestions? I like a diluted cup of Twinings Cinnamon and Orange, personally. Especially during Autumn.
Um, not really. Some evenings. Wife really likes it. Green tea I guess. Been meaning to try sassafras root, just out of curiosity, though.
@@pocket83squared My favorite is Earl Grey with Jasmine! It was my mother's favorite too. I'm mostly a coffee drinker, though, but like a cuppa once in a while.
@@pocket83squaredgood luck on the sassafras. I like it but softdrinks sure have changed
Lol
A couple things I’d like to add if I may.
First, don’t overheat the hole saw. If your cut is making smoke then you’re ruining the hole saw.
Second, avoid the universal hole saws. The kind with sheet metal segments that snap into a single arbor for different sizes. They are cheap but the quality of cut isn’t worth it.
Third, carbide tipped hole saws are an option if you’re working with very hard woods. These range from standard style hole saws with many small teeth to the kinds with 3 or so teeth with large carbide teeth and large gullets between the teeth. These are pricy though. But will drill very fast.
Sounds more like a fractal than a loop.
What's the difference? Well, I guess it all depends on our frame of reference. Let's say we happen to be living in the type of universe in which an infinite timeline can play out. If this is the case, then recursion occurs at _every_ scale, and as such, every finite pattern enclosed within this universe is destined to repeat, no matter how vast, long, or complex. That goes for conscious experiences, too. If it isn't the case, then you could be right, that our finite universe itself may just be a segmental compartment of a much larger (and smaller) seashell.
In a superficially-related note, though the Ammonite is long gone now, the Nautilus lives on. But maybe it'll return! Hey, wait-you don't get the feeling that you've read this before, do you? Creepy.
@@pocket83squared In regards to Ammonites, look up Carcinisation if you aren't familiar with how badly the universe wants crabs.
In a further digression, and even more unrelated, I dug up a 50 million year old fossilized leaf recently in the appropriately named Fossil, OR. Not quite as old as the Ammonites, but in geologic timeframes not that far off.
As for the universe, an infinite timeline does not equate to unchanging. That is, you might have repeating patterns across the breadth of the universe, but as you go deeper in time towards heat death the patterns that are repeated slowly change.
@@drportland8823 Oh my, well done. That gave me an lol irl.
On this property I've found shale with embedded fern fossil. I haven't dated it yet, but I'll add that to the list. I'm skeptical about whether its indigenous.
To infinity and beyond, I don't know how much of your life you've wasted on the subject, but the best (and most exhaustive) read of it I've had came from Wallace's _Everything And More,_ which, not without irony, turned out to be more than I could handle. Oh yeah, my point? _Of course_ infinity does not imply an absence of change; that would/could only be a local phenomenon. Infinite temporal, um, room means that all possible scenarios play out-from Shakespeare-typing monkeys to long stretches of heat-death to aeons of carnival food, crabs, cats, cat-crabs, and eventually back to UA-cam comments-infinity is much more muchier a condition than we can ever conceive. Except that we do eventually conceive of it if this is an infinity, because everything eventually happens.
Crabs do sortof look like a Rorschach blot. Maybe the bilateral symmetry is just a thing that's hard to avoid developing while subsisting on a plane-space, like a sea floor.
@@pocket83squared I don't really subscribe to the 'everything that can happen happens' theories. My mind rebels, and beyond that I suspect that 'everything that can happen' is a bigger infinity than the infinite timeline (like the difference between the infinities of integers and real numbers).
@@drportland8823 Sure. Mine too. But in the (hypothetical) type we're talking about, that is, where a given volume of space has an infinite amount of time, eventually all possible configurations/states will occur, and eventually, all possible states will repeat, and eventually...
The supposition that heat death even _could_ attain and sustain perfect, prolonged, endless non-movement is an infinitely tall assumption. Theory, meet _de facto._ I suspect that the second law of thermodynamics will someday evolve to accept a more flexible physics that accommodates endless change, just as the law of conservation of mass was once forced to evolve to become the first law of thermodynamics and accept the conversion of matter into energy. I think it was Baron d'Holbach who was so fond of saying that science, over time, approaches reality. Or something like that. Sounded smart in my head.
Had to drill a wide partial-depth hole recently. My closest forstner bit wasn't big enough, and buying a new one would be Expensive. Found my cheap holesaw set had one that was just what I needed. So after clearing out the bulk with the forstner, I went back and expanded the hole with the hole saw (all while keeping it firmly clamped to the drill press table). It was a very handy trick and prevented me from wasting more money on drill bits
Who cares what it's called, it does the job 😊
You must use the correct terminology in a how-to video. Only pure information is allowed. They will tell you that words have precise meanings (in broken, semi-punctuated, barely-comprehensible language, of course).
darn 😂
@@pocket83squared Same people who police safety (or at least the same type of people, on a different crusade).
@@pocket83squaredI would call them drive pins or just pins rather than shear pins (as I don't desire them to shear when a torque threshold is exceeded).
Thank you for the video.
Now to duck as the incoming comments because I didn't read between the lines.
@@benjaminbrewer2154 I've exceeded the torque threshold before, and so I've had to replace one pin. If it wouldn't have sheared, then the gizmo would've been ruined. And thank you for realizing that what you call things is less important than being understood.
:)
I keep a stack of these cookie near my lathe. I glue them to blocks and grip them with my jaw chuck. 2 3/4" or 3' are the most common for me to use.
Tell us you never clean your work bench without telling us you never clean your work bench ;) (please don't take this as shots fired, my poor cluttered bench can't defend itself and it tries so hard)
@@WoodworkingforAnyone Not sure what you mean though. I have a basket I throw these in after making them. They make a great way to attach a blank to my lathe.
@@mr.mickles sorry it was a joke based around a dumb meme from a few years ago. I was playfully suggesting that you "keeping" them meant they just stayed where they fell
Excellent tips! Thank you
Always love to see a pocket video, I know I'm gonna actually learn something and maybe laugh, too. No cheap shorts clickbait garbage, no ragebait, no comment bait. Genuine knowledge and humor that simply is. Love it.
Great. Thanks.
Thank you
